The following regulations have been developed in order to regulate student enrollment within the Hicksville Public Schools and to provide a mechanism to ensure that the district’s educational programs and resources are provided to only those students who are legally entitled to benefit from them.

Student Registration

All students seeking to enroll in the Hicksville School District MUST meet legal residence eligibility criteria in order to be considered for registration.

In order to be admitted to kindergarten in September, a child must
be 5 years of age on or before December 1 of the school year in which
the child enters kindergarten. Registration for children who expect to
enter kindergarten in September will be held in the preceding spring.

Transfer Students

All students new to the district or resident children transferring
to the public schools may register at any time during the school year.
Parents must contact the registration office to make an appointment
to register their children for school. The office is located in the
Administration Building at 200 Division Ave.

All registrants for public school or Hicksville residents requesting
transportation to private/parochial school must provide:

• Proof of Birth i.e., birth certificate, passport, baptismal certificate,
satisfactory proof that none of the above exist, along with other
documentation acceptable to the superintendent and

• Proof of Parental Relationship i.e., birth certificate indicating
parents’ name(s) along with parents’ photo ID; baptismal

Noncustodial parents must also complete an affidavit, along with
a notarized affidavit from a nonresident custodial parent or legal
guardian, indicating permission to allow the child to reside with
the person in the custodial relationship who is a legal resident of
the Hicksville Public School District. The person in the custodial
relationship must also complete an affidavit and present both
